Colau answers pro-independence critics against Carmena: "If they can not talk to Carmena, who can they talk to?", Defends the mayor of Barcelona.

The mayor of Barcelona, ​​Ada Colau, wrapped Thursday the former Mayor of Madrid Manuela Carmena, who will deliver the proclamation of the city on September 20, and has addressed "pro-independence sectors" that criticize: "If they can not talk with Carmena, with whom can you talk? "

In the press conference after the first Government Commission after the approval of the municipal folder, which she offered together with the first deputy mayor, Jaume Collboni, the mayor affirmed that she does consider that the independence leaders are "political prisoners" and who was in favor of "the mobilization" on October 1, unlike what Carmena said recently.

Even so, he has indicated: "Carmena has not been invited because of her opinion about the prisoners or the Catalan situation in particular but because of her defense of the dialogue, beyond the opinions of each one".

Colau has stressed that what was a candidate for Ahora Madrid in the recent municipal elections "has always defended dialogue, cooperation, the right to decide, and regretted that there are political leaders in jail."

Collboni affirms that it seems to him "very good idea" that Carmena is the one in charge to pronounce the cry

He has claimed that "the policy is that, within the difference, we have the will to understand, listen and find solutions beyond the positions of maximums".

And he has applauded that Carmena "has always shown much love and affection for Barcelona" and "has played a leading role in the politics of understanding, dialogue and proximity between Barcelona and Madrid".

The socialist Collboni has said that he thinks it is "a very good idea" that Carmena be the one in charge of delivering the proclamation of the Catalan capital and, unlike Colau, he has said sharing "in essence, his point of view about the pro "

In spite of this, she pointed out that it is not her positions that have "motivated" her choice as a proclaimer but "her trajectory as a woman of the left, her defense of labor rights and her courage to make progressive and transformative measures in a context very complicated".

Collboni has asked the opposition not to make each year of the choice of the crier or crier "a casus belli" and has indicated that "it would be good for everyone to lower the tension and open a little mind."
